Rickie Fowler equals US Open record on day one at Erin Hills

Rickie Fowler made light of the longest course in major championship history to produce a record-equalling start to the US Open on Thursday.

Erin Hills had been set up to play to 7,845 yards in the first round, surpassing the record set at Chambers Bay in 2015 by 150 yards, but a combination of wide fairways and a course softened by thunderstorms earlier in the week helped Fowler card seven birdies in a flawless opening 65.
